Unfortunately the FBI is not the beacon of trust either these days

Under the current leadership too? Obviously James Comey helped sway a democratic election in favor of an authoritarian sociopath, but I've not heard of any post-Comey scandals worth noting. I don't like the surveillance state the US has frustratingly subscribed too, but technically the FBI is not breaking the law by snooping on citizens (not advocating for forgiveness, just being factual).
